Disfavour is a feeling of dislike and . If you fall into disfavour, someone with power no longer looks kindly on you. It is cooler than hate: more a cold look than a fight. As a verb, to disfavour something is to treat it as the worse option, or to show you do not support it. Though actually, this spelling is British (disfavour); American English disfavor. The word itself feels a little old and formal. Younger speakers more often say they , they are not a fan, or someone is out of favour. You will still meet the noun in newspapers and in set phrases: in disfavour, fall into disfavour, look on with disfavour. It can describe a person’s feeling, or the chilly position you occupy when that feeling is aimed at you.
